Dashboard Personalization Requriements

Dashboard Level

• The dashboard components by default shown on the dashboard should be relevant to the roles of the users.
• The dashboard components available to a user should be relevant to the roles of the users.
• You should be able to turn on and off of components on a personalized view of a dashboard.
• You should be able to reorder the components shown on the dashboard.  Reordering includes Move Up, Move Down,  Move Left, Move Right, Sharing the horizontal spaces among components, etc.
• Arranging components within a dashboard should be an end user personalization function, not just a dashboard designer function.

Component Level

• A Tabular view of the data is the most commonly seen component.
• You should be able to add additional relevant fields that you are interested.  The IT or the vendor provided dashboard may define the relevant fields that are available, but as an end user, you should be able to hide and show (some) individual fields. 
• For getting extra space for showing data, you should be able to remove the unwanted or not so useful fields.
• You should be able to customize the width of the column displayed as part of user personalization.
• You should be able to reorder the fields within a table

Almost all contents should be predefined by vendor managed dashboard and there should not be a need for any organization to hire "BI developer" to build dashboard.

MVP Trap and RAT (Riskiest Assumption and Test)

Recently I had a conversation with our new product management VP.   It was a very interesting and enlightening talk.

A lot of time, the MVP is being misused or inappropriately applied.
